In short: A great introduction to marathonsIn full: Have run plenty before but this was my first marathon and it could not have gone any better. The organisation was great, plenty of water and sponge points, superb support and a really nice course. The hills could have been a lot worse, and having cycled in the area before the route defintitely avoided some nasty ones! I was only going to do a marathon once just to say 'I did it', but I shall be back next year. Date of review: April 30, 2013

In short: Sunshine, slopes and sweat...In full: Have only done one half marathon before and that was 6 years ago, so was a bit apprehensive about entering. I needn't have worried, had a great race. The route was scenic, the undulations challenging, and the atmosphere was terrific. Great support all round, particularly over the iron bridge and the finish line, and the marshalls. Will definitely be back next year.Date of review: April 2, 2012

In short: Bit of a cock up this time, but still a great raceIn full: Third time I've done this one, and was unfortunate enough to go off course due to signage/marshall issues. However, this is easily rectified and Paul who organises seemed genuinely upset, I don't doubt he will rectify this for next year. Slightly different route this year, harder but more scenic and loved it. As for it being expensive, would agree that it is not cheap, but it's not as if you don't know that when you enter...Date of review: May 1, 2010
